Neuropathy training for medical professionals

I make no apology for posting 4 video clips in the same post (total just over 20 minutes) because they show in maneagable bites how medical professionals are trained to recognise neuropathy in their patients. They also emphasise something you will all be aware of; this is a huge problem that is amazingly still underestimated and still growing.In part three he hammers the point that doctors need to talk to each other about their patient...the best advice for doctors dealing with HIV patients! The sound quality is not great and therefore needs a little concentration but it's worth the effort.

The speaker is Dr. John Hayes Jr. and his website is www.neuropathydr.com and here lies a problem relating to this blog. I won't promote commercial organisations because that brings its own responsibility and that is not the purpose of this independent blog. This doctor is promoting Re-builder electro-diagnostics on his site (the 5th video is not shown here - it deals with the product itself) but this does not mean that the information he gives in the videos is not valid - on the contrary, it is simply explained, packed with accurate information and very helpful.
If all you get out of it is that it tells you that you're not alone with what you're suffering and probably also teaches you something you didn't already know then you've not wasted your time.

Aim of the Blog

http://www.thebody.com/content/65006/hiv-and-neuropathy-how-to-avoid-becoming-a-nervous.htmlThe aim is to exchange news, information, experiences, tips and hints about the disease and its treatment. There is relatively little information on the web for patients who have both HIV and neuropathy, so maybe something you read here or on the website will help you live with the condition more comfortably. All constructive, helpful (or even downright funny... we all need a laugh!) comments are welcome.
